I think 987 will improve more though, as it seems like they spent a fair bit of time fussing around with RCs... either taking a while to get them or being a team-player by moving one over for 148 to use.

987's auto is more capable and reliable so far... but the only team that can stack game pieces as fast as 1114 is 148... and 148 only does so by multi-tasking.

My 'criticism' of these top teams isn't meant to be critical-sounding... any of them so thoroughly out-pace my team it's really not even funny. We could consistently do 3 stacks of 4 totes (no RC!) in elims at Week 1... very good, but no where even close to those levels.
